Bill Benson will be the presenter at the next meeting of the Logan County Historical Society.

Benson is a Sterling history buff with a wide range of historical knowledge. He will be speaking about the journey west made by Samuel Clemens (later to be better known as Mark Twain). Clemens came through Julesburg as he made his way across the country and experienced a variety of interesting things in our part of the world and beyond.

The public is welcome to attend what should be a very interesting presentation, at 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 11, at the community room of the Sterling Public Library. If you have any questions regarding the meeting, please call Grant Otzenberger at (970) 522-9345.
